Are you refering to me?

I am telling everyone the truth. I use these types of ROVs when we conduct something called Sub sea Wire line. I know when i see a Parked ROV. And
this is a parked ROV.

Man I tell you what, I have enjoyed your posts. I have laughed my ask off. I would have responded if I knew the answer. I can only speculate so
here it goes...

I saw the red glow/color show up in a few different places then I saw it dim down. That doesn't seem like a laser. I would expect a laser to be
much brighter and more concentrated due to the close proximity to the sea floor. I would not expect it to dim - but turn off instantly.

I am continuing my personal observation and have not formed a solid conclusion presently (uppity red neck lingo).

In fact I would say that between the number of screens that either switched off, malfunctioning or staring at nothing particular we are actually
seeing less and less of what is going on.

I hear you there. I was looking at the site with the 12 camera views and I see 4 screens offline, 5 seemingly looking into the abyss, 2 zoomed in so
tight on the spewing oil and gas that you can't see what's really going on and the one being discussed here. It's slightly annoying.

If that is lava, it will heat up the ocean, and cause a massive release of methane, from the sea sea floor, this will intern cause a cascade of other
things to occurr most of which would be demened not good.

I actually live on Roatan which is in the south western Caribbean. I figured better get to the beach while there is still one to play on. water temp
30.4 degree's incase anyone is interested, clear , no smell other than coconut oil.

On a more serious note, it does not look good people. They are still holding station on ROV2 so there is definitely something there they want to keep
an eye on. ROV1 well what can you say, other than "if you have family or friends on the Gulf coast any of the Gulf coast, get them out of there!"

If you read my edited original post and look at the two screen shots you will see the fissure that is opening up. That is not a normal part of parking
an ROV

Well by looking at the ROV images right now i am sure that this is just a parking spot for the ROV.

Look at the sub connected to the square block, see the wire sticking out! At the end of it is a handle for the ROV to grab the anker to pick it up.

If you wonder why they have that attached to the anker, it is because the flat anker often get stuck in the mud at sea bed. And by having a additional
handle at the edge makes it easier to pool the anker lose from the mud.

i thought i saw gobs of crude exit early in the shot...
this, is a rov they are using for the corexit isit not>
perhaps they await a new suply of it.
Maybe it easier to just leave everything running down there instead of shutting it down when not being used directly.
sort of like leaving a diesel idle in the parkinlot all night up north in winter.
Maybe the rovs are hard to start when left inactive a while..
